Where do negative thoughts come from? Why does the constant shadow of maledictions, envy, jealousy and hate emerge? Are they influenced by some invisible force? Mischievous spirits? Alien race? I'm not trying to be ridiculous here, but there is something out there that is influencing our thoughts. Sometimes very relaxed and patient people have been known to react peculiar even to the point of hurting others at times. This type of behavior has been known to happen in all parts of the world. Why is that you could be at ease for days and then out of nowhere you begin to hate? Is it the chemistry of the brain? But who's causing the glitch? Just like ideas come from within the universal web of "oneness", can hate reap from the very same source? I doubt it.

Of course, experts would suggest that the brain is causing hate, envy and jealousy. It's a chemical imbalance, they say. So people with multiple personalities just have a brain problem? Or are they being influenced by invisible forces? Alien and/ or demonic possession? Brain problems can also be caused by outside influences.

In one of his writings, Carlos Castaneda wrote about an inorganic being called Mud Shadows Or Flyers. These beings would place an installation in our minds at a very young age to secure their food supply. The installation would think for us and nurture our ego to keep us in a really narrow state of mind. It creates the environment these being like, the whole chaotic ego mind-trip. For example, anger, envy and hate.

Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda's teacher, would advise "to be still" when the feeling of these Mud Shadows or Flyers would emerge. Instead of reacting or fighting back, silence your mind. Think of nothing. And these beings would leave.

So with every dark thought, we should silence the mind? If these beings are real, Don Juan mentioned that feeding them with negative thoughts would only make them stronger.

"Being Still" (Being Silent) is tough for most people. It makes sense that we continue with chaotic behavior. That is why there is violence, crime and corruption. Relationships between people is nerve wrecking because keeping silent from the negative behavior of others is tough. It's hard enough fighting mind demons when you are by yourself, it's even tougher having someone else in the mist of it.

But silence is the key. To destroy the ego, to destroy the mud shadow or flyers, one must destroy the food supply. Silence is the weapon of choice. The more silent you become when confronted with negative feelings and thoughts the weaker these "invisible entities" become. You are snagging away from the installation they placed in your mind. Their food supply becomes scarce.

So bring these Mud Shadows And Flyers a drought will you? Keep silent and take away what feeds them. Remove the hate, the envy and the jealousy. Stop being resentful and you will eventually kill off these dark beings from your life.

So be silent in the mist of a dark mind. Peace and light is always there. You just have to let it fill you.
